Thanks Eddie, I've done several more opens and a few of the Brighton vans as well but haven't had chance to paint them yet. I'll post some pictures when I do. Below are the ones finished so far.

edubs Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Cracking stuff. I've been looking forward to seeing what you did with those. Thanks for sharing in here as well. Cheers, Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF51 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've read through this thread, great stuff, excellent items, Eddie. I may have missed it, did see you could do these in 4mm, but what about N (1/148)? Is that do-able, and anyone know if the W irons and other bits are available? Or could the bodies be plunked onto existing RTR frames? Thanks. Jim F 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edubs Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Jim. Thanks for your kind comments! I don't think it would be any good to simply resize any of these models to 4mm scale, I would probably pretty much start from scratch with each wagon if I were to do this. As for N, I could probably resize to 1/148 scale, but I suspect that any existing RTR underframe would still be far too wide, especially considering how small many of the prototypes were, so 2mm SA components would still be the ideal way to go, but with N wheels, as Gareth Collier has done. Cheers, Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relief when you check your books again and see a van in service with horizontal end boards. Cheers, Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etched Pixels Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Maybe the Matthieson chassis ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edubs Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Andrew of Matthieson models has got some of my prints, we've exchanged messages in the past. He's not doing those RTR PO wagons anymore. I've never had a look at one up close so I don't know any dimensions or how they go together. Cheers, Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edubs Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 I've ordered a couple of test items in the new HDA material from Shapeways. Might be suitable, especially (hopefully) for vans, might not. Only one way to find out! I will report in 10 days or so. Cheers, Eddie. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edubs Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 A way to choose orientation of print and a new paint friendly finish forthcoming to FUD, along with cheaper pricing on 70% of items. Great news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brakes clipped on separately and so did the couplings, then there was a piece of metal to add some mass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
